UHS PGET Medicine & Allied MCQs with Answers: Sample Questions & Preparation

The UHS Postgraduate Entrance Test (PGET) in Lahore is the written gate to MD, MS, MDS and FCPS induction. It has two papers of 100 single-best-answer MCQs, two hours each: Paper I basic medical sciences and Paper II the specialty. This page is for MBBS graduates aiming for MD Medicine and allied residencies and shows a sample of Medicine & Allied questions with answers and one-line explanations.

What Medicine & Allied practice covers

The Medicine & Allied bank covers cardiovascular, respiratory, gastroenterology, nephrology, neurology, endocrinology and haematology, alongside the Paper I MBBS basic-sciences core. Questions come from FCPS Part 1 and SZABMU Part-I collections plus reviewed recall material, and each keeps a source tag.

Sample MCQs

1. Essential coenzyme for pyruvate dehydrogenase complex:

• A) Biotin
• B) Cobalamin

Pyruvate dehydrogenase requires TPP (B1), lipoic acid, CoA, FAD, and NAD+

2. A malar flush and a diastolic click are seen in a patient with:

• A) Aortic stenosis
• B) Aortic regurgitation
• C) Mitral stenosis ✅
• D) Mitral regurgitation

Mitral facies (malar flush) and an opening snap with a mid-diastolic rumble are features of mitral stenosis.

• A) Uterine tube remnants ✅
• B) Seminal vesicle
• C) Epididymis

Failure of anti-Mullerian hormone leaves Mullerian derivatives (uterus and tubes) alongside normal male internal genitalia — persistent Mullerian duct syndrome.

4. Graves disease is caused by:

• A) Excess TSH from the pituitary
• B) A stimulating antibody against the TSH receptor ✅
• C) An antibody against thyroid peroxidase
• D) Iodine excess

Thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin mimics TSH, driving hormone overproduction and, in the orbit, glycosaminoglycan deposition causing exophthalmos.

• A) Refer the patient to tertiary care hospital
• B) Start oral sodium chloride
• C) Restrict fluid intake ✅
